The alphabetic attribute defines the lower baseline of a font. It has the same syntax and semantics as the baseline descriptor within an @font-face.
For horizontally oriented glyph layouts, it indicates the alignment coordinate for glyphs to achieve alphabetic baseline alignment. The value is an offset in the font coordinate system.
Only one element is using this attribute: <font-face>
